Overview
- Scott revealed Thursday on The Tonight Show that an acting teacher screened his audition for The Office alongside John Krasinski’s and asked students to analyze why Krasinski was cast.
- The actor said his daughter Francesca “Frankie” Scott watched the exercise and felt “mortified,” because the instructor initially did not know she was his child.
- Scott said the teacher stopped Frankie after class, realized her surname linked her to him, and expressed regret for using the tapes without that knowledge.
- Scott is currently in New York filming season 3 of Severance and told Fallon the family had been staying with him while she took summer acting classes.
- The episode underlines two broader points from Scott’s career: casting choices can send actors down very different paths and teachers commonly use historic audition tapes to teach what worked and what did not.
